HANOI, Vietnam — A Vietnamese traffic cop went on a wild ride in Hanoi, clinging to the windshield wipers of a moving bus for more than half a mile after the rogue driver tried to avoid a ticket, police said Friday.

The driver allegedly refused to show his paperwork and drove off — but not before Phan leaped onto the front, the officer added. The officer said the bus reached a top speed of about 31 miles per hour.

A video shot by one of Phan’s fellow police officers shows the officer trying to get his footing and dangling precariously from the moving bus as oncoming traffic whizzes past. Phan yelled, “Call the police!”

The driver, Phung Hong Phuong, eventually pulled over after being chased by police and residents.

Even with the bus stopped, Phan stood calmly in front of it, still holding the wipers.

Phuong was arrested for allegedly acting against public officials, an offense that carries a maximum three-year prison sentence, the officer said.
